Hi all,

I have installed Aegir on an Ubuntu VPS successfully before but I am having a DNS problem with BOA...

I am using EASY PUBLIC SETUP MODE. I have entered my FQDN in BARRACUDA.sh.txt but have not entered my IP address - I thought this was automatically detected

The BOA script says: are you sure it's a valid FQDN hostname?

Yes it is

Then the BOA script says: Are you sure your FQDN hostname matches your IP address: 127.0.0.1?

I think IP address should be IP of my server not 127.0.0.1

Any ideas please what I am doing wrong?

Here is the putty session http://pastebin.com/bHfdynDr

Thanks...

I've run into similar

I've run into similar problems when the DNS hasn't fully propagated to the data center the VPS is in. I'd start over but make sure you have set an A record for the server's hostname, and both the master and o1 instances.

e.g.:
hostname.example.com (this is the FQDN)
master.hostname.example.com
o1.hostname.example.com

Though, I'm not sure why it's returning the localhost IP instead of the public.

Also, not sure if the docs are clear but you shouldn't need to edit the installer scripts. They will prompt you for everything along the way. Then, if you need to make a change there will be some hidden config files in the root's home folder, those are what you should edit.

@ jeremyr thanks for your

@ jeremyr thanks for your reply.

Does this look ok for my DNS records http://i.imgur.com/yEAvG3N.jpg ?

So you mean I do not need to edit BARRACUDA.sh.txt? But then I get this:

$ bash BARRACUDA.sh.txt

Barracuda [Thu May 30 10:43:26 EDT 2013] ==> BOA Skynet welcomes you aboard!

Barracuda [Thu May 30 10:43:30 EDT 2013] ==> INFO: NORMAL INIT
Barracuda [Thu May 30 10:43:31 EDT 2013] ==> FATAL ERROR: You must define also _EASY_HOSTNAME when _EASY_PUBLIC mode is enabled
$

Thanks...

The DNS setting look correct

The DNS setting look correct to me. You should not need to edit BARRACUDA.sh.txt if you are following the steps here: http://drupalcode.org/project/barracuda.git/blob/HEAD:/docs/INSTALL.txt

According to the install.txt (the link above) you should be at step number 3. In that step you will need to get BOA.sh.txt first and then execute it. Once you have run that you can then execute the installer. It should look something like this:

boa in-stable public server.mydomain.org my@email o1

If you have followed those steps correctly and are still having problems with DNS you might need to edit the /root/.barracuda.cnf file and set _DNS_SETUP_TEST to NO.

Beyond that, I'm not sure what the problem might be. Also, make sure you are referring back to the documentation here http://drupalcode.org/project/barracuda.git/tree/HEAD:/docs and another resource where I find a lot of answers is here http://omega8.cc/library/aegir-basics-index

@ jeremyr - ok, thanks. I

@ jeremyr - ok, thanks. I tried it with a different webhost and the install went through smoothly.

Thanks...
